“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

The other, of course, involves orcs.” ― Paul Krugman

Hi, I'm Bret. I'm a very Progressive Liberal. I believe in the truth behind science and mathematics. I believe supposed "creationists" are just too ignorant to understand actual science, and fall back to their magic storybook because real science is too hard for their itsy-bitsy lizard brains. I believe in equality for all people; straight, gay, bi, trans, white, black, brown it does not matter. We are all humans on this Earth for a limited time. Celebrate diversity and enjoy with other's bring to your life. End of story. ;-)

"There is no middle ground," he stated emphatically. "You're either going to go all out and fight a big war that can't be won, or you're going to bring the troops home and focus on the problems that we have right now -- huge unemployment, global warming, a health care mess, all these things, our educational system, everything."

Moved by Obama's attendance at the transfer of bodies at Dover Air Force Base, something President George W. Bush infamously didn't do, Moore offered hope that Obama might end the war in Afghanistan."I'm going to trust in all my heart that he's going to make the right decision," he opined....(Remainder.)
